Climbed 02.06.06 – Started this walk at the ‘carpark’ on north-eastern side of the beautiful Easky Lough IG 451 236A. Took bearing of 62 NE ascending initial steep & rocky, but relatively easy, slope before reaching open heath. Steady ascent following course of Sruffaungarve for a time over short tussock grass and peat hags to Farbreagabeg IG 46272 24428B (447m)which is marked by a group of large boulders in an otherwise comparatively rock free environment. From here Annatoran’s height can be seen a short distance to the east. Walk continues on similar terrain as before up to the white post which marks the summit IG 47497 24486C (513m).The ascent from Easky to the summit is quite easy and took just short of an hour and a half at a fairly sedate pace. Views from the top are extensive to the west towards Killalla and the North Mayo range and to the north/northeast to Sligo Bay and beyond Slieve League and the Croaghgorms. The plateau, upon which Annotran is a ‘hump’, limits the view in many directions while northeast the heights leading to Knockalongy are in view. Overall, a pleasant climb to an unremarkable top but enjoyable in the beautiful summer weather. Next stop was Knockalongy. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/429/comment/2378/
